Little Tree {DIY}

Feelin’ crafty? I just discovered a free pattern download that Stephanie Barnes of Little Birds and 3191 fame so graciously put on her blog like forever ago. After finding it on Monday, I grabbed a few pieces of fabric and after a few snips here and some stitching there, this my friends is my 1st little soft tree.

She’s a little imperfect, but still very cute. This is the easiest thing you’ll ever sew, so please give it a try. I made this while watching Project Runway last night (which by the way, this is such a great season, I totally see Christian, Rami, and Jillian in the final three).

But back to the tree, after looking at it for awhile, I decided to give this softie a little personality with some black thread. So now the tree is a she and I’ve named her Clara. Download your pattern here, and when you finish your little baum, please post it in Stephaine’s flickr group called soft trees so we can all ooo and aaaah over it.

Hi Katee! I don’t make little toys and such, I make quilts, bags, curtains, tea towels, and pillows and have been sewing since I was a child alongside my mother.

My knowledge of softie production is rather limited, but when I saw the tree pattern on stephaines blog, I had to look at it and instantly I was able to grasp the concept and I had a great time doing it.

I also just started making doll clothes, but I do follow a pattern for those because of all the little parts, I can’t eyeball them too well.

Not all of my readers are sewers to I linked them to this pattern and blogged about this little project because I happened to have a lot of fun with it.

I hope you are able to sew up a few – they are fun and a great thing to do while watching trash television!!!
